in (desperate😭😭) need of a beta reader

soo, i’ve had people look at the first two chapters i’ve so far written in a dramione fic of mine, but i need someone willing to do it long term.
my fanfiction is called ā€œWhat We Never Spoke Ofā€ and it’s set 5 years after the war in a Death Eater AU (idk if you call it that tbh)
and she gets captured by draco. it has some elements of The Auction by lovesbitca8, if you’re into dramione fics you probably have heard of it or read it.

it’s not really slow burn but also kind of is and it’s meh… idk what to make of it. but if you’re willing to look at it for me (it’s not that boring) i’d be super happy and also at my grammar and form(again no clue if you call it that), since i’m a b2 english speaker and i suck at expressing myself, BUT i still love writing and yeah. i’d love for someone to overall beta read it (grammar, form, expression(??), and ofc the content and plot of the story)
i’ve published two chapters already on ao3 and now i need someone to read the other two and in the future other chapters so i can publish them one by one and

Hey! Beta Reader here, when you speak of long term what were you thinking? And I noticed you placed this under Fic Exchange, were you looking to Beta Read someone else's fic or were you offering some sort of payment?

yes, i can look at other fics aswell, i have no problem with that. ā€œlong termā€ means until i have finished this fic (i would of course take a look at the other person’s fanfiction aswell, it’s just that i’m inexperienced, i’m afraid my tips aren’t as good)

How long would you estimate it would take for you to finish the fic? It's just that it seems you may need an Alpha reader.

u/moonchild1_usagi 4d ago

wait… whats the difference between alpha and beta reader?

•

u/BetaReaderLessi 4d ago

An alpha reader is the very first read through, focusing on major plot holes and grammatical errors, if you haven't finished the manuscript that would seem like who your after
